Pulling for non-BCS (nonAQ) schools
Most of us regularly root for schools outside the power conferences. Will that change for you? Will you still pull for BE schools? MWC schools?

I already don't watch or care about games between "BCS" schools. Now, I will not watch BE teams, unless they're playing C-USA, MAC, or SunBelt. Just wondering if that is a common thought, or if I'm out on another limb. I wish nothing but the very worst for them, even if they're playing Ohio State or Alabama. Just my thoughts.

It might mean less $$$ for us but I will still root for non-AQ over AQ most every time.

I have no ill-will towards any college football team and will watch any quality football game I very well please b/c I am a fan of the game. My angst is towards the system and the greed that is oozing out of it. ESPN, TV Exec's, AD's, University Presidents and administrators...there is plenty of faulty "leadership" occuring and it's ruining big time college athletics. Ten years ago no fan was discussing market size, television revenue and university budgets. We were however saying things like team A is better than team B and deserves to be here and here is why..and that was a beautiful thing.

RE: Pulling for non-BCS (nonAQ) schools
I think you'll see the non-AQ brotherhood weaken due to the GoF auto-bid. When you had to go undefeated to be a BCS buster it was easy to root for whoever made it that far. However, now a two loss CUSA champ can go to a BCS bowl as long as they're ranked higher than the champions of the other GoF conferences. Fans ultimately want what's best for their school. If a successful Boise State is blocking CUSA from accessing majors bowls then CUSA fans are going to start rooting against Boise and the MWC.

I will do what Ive done the past few years. I'll watch Marshall, if Marshall isn'playing I'll look for a CUSA game. If there isn't a Marshall or CUSA game on I'll look for a IAA or DII game on.

I will continue to pull for USM, Tulane, Louisville, UAB, Cincy, and Houston until they pry it from my cold, lifeless hands.
